jeebak's layout
This WIP keymap attempts to minimize fingers straying away from the home row.
To aid in this endeavor, when additional modifyer keys to switch layers are
needed, they will be mapped to home row keys. The keymap.c file will contain
the exact changes. The diagrams in this README shows the highlights of the
changes from the default mappings.
I also decided to change all calls to persistant_default_layer_set() to
default_layer_set() since this is my personal perference.
Macros
#define ALT_TAB M(KC_ALT_TAB)
Base Layers (Qwerty/Colemak/Dvorak)
These base layers are mostly the same as the default mappings. The interesting
changes are shown below. The Ctrl/Esc, mapped using CTL_T(KC_ESC) will emit
an Escape when tapped, and act as a Control key when held. A TODO item is
to see if it can also act as a CapsLock when double-tapped. The right shift
key acts as Enter when tapped, and as a Shift key when held. The arrow
keys, which have been moved to the
TouchCursor layer, have been
replaced with the Media keys as shown. The ML/A key activates the Mouse layer
when held, and emits an A when tapped.

Lower Layer (Symbols and Function Keys)
The symbols and functions keys are essentially the same as the default mapping.
The most notable changes are that the symbol keys from the RAISE layer have
been moved here. The remaining Media keys replace those that are now on the
base layers. The BACKLIT key has also been moved here.

Raise Layer (Numbers and Arithmetic Operators)
All of the numbers and arithmetic operators are available on this layer. Some
keys are duplicated for the convenience of their positions. The 0 and $
keys at the far left are for quick access to beginning and end of line in vim.

TouchCursor layer plus personal customizations
TouchCursor uses the Space key
as the modifier, with the IJKL home row keys representing the inverted-T of
the arrow keys. All of the default TouchCursor keymappings for the right hand
are represented below. My personalizations include all of the keys shown for
the left hand. Having the Alt and Shift keys (as well as the Control key
from the base layers) readily accessible from the home row allows quick word
jumps and highlighting when used in conjunction with the arrow keys. The
Alt-Tab macro is not only useful under Windows, but also under Mac when used
with alternative switchers like HyperSwitch.
The Cmd-Tab and Ctrl-Tab sequences are duplicated for easy access while in
this layer. The KC_UNDO, KC_CUT, KC_COPY, KC_PASTE, KC_FIND, and KC_AGAIN
keycodes do not seem to work. There are macros in place that'll "automatically"
choose the correct version (Cmd-Tab vs. Alt-Tab, Cmd-C vs. Ctrl-C,
etc.) depending on which layout you've currently selected (AG_NORM or
AG_SWAP) in the _ADJUST layer.

Mouse Layer
The Mouse layer, closely mimics the layout/behaviour of the TouchCursor layer.
The A key is used to activate this layer. All 16 keycodes for the mouse from
the doc/keycode.txt file are represented, and logically located, IMHO. The
left and right click buttons are duplicated; on the right hand side, for a
quick click here and there, and again on the left hand side for when the
buttons need to be held for dragging things or highlighting text, thus allowing
the right hand to be free to use the up/down/left/right actions.
